Speak not to me of blasphemy, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me.

About Me

"YES I'M BROADER THAN BROADWAY..." I love music & film. I always knew I would work in one or the other. I was born & raised on the south shore of Long Island. Graduated from Fordham University Lincoln Center with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications. Started my career in the music industry working in Publicity at major labels Capitol & Elektra Records. Then made the move into artist mangement working with Gang Starr & Beenie Man at Empire Artist Management. Currently I am working in music publishing with talented artists, songwriters, producers & DJ's like DJ Benny D (Akon's official DJ), DJ Karim (Mr. Vegas "Hot Wuk"), KLC & The Medicine Men (Luda's "Move Bitch" & "Get Back," Paul Wall, T.I., Trina), Esco (from Kingston duo Lefside & Esco, "Tuck In Ya Belly"), Tanto Metro & Devonte, Beenie Man, Ced Keyz (Jazze Pha's official keyboard player, Young Buck, Cherish, Field Mob), Gar & Sniper from B.G.'s Chopper City Boyz, Bass Heavy (C-Murder, B.G.), Nigel Staff (Sean Paul's "When You Gonna Give It Up To Me" Original & Keyshia Cole Remix), Koolface (Rihanna feat.

I am seeking producers, artists & songwriters who are looking for publishing deals. YOU NEED TO HAVE PLACEMENTS!!! I am doing administration & co-publishing deals. Actively obtaining new placements on projects and constantly pitching music to TV, film & video game companies. On top of that making sure paperwork is straight for my clients to collect ringtone/download income, mechanical royalties & performance rights money WORLDWIDE! We have sub-publishers collecting around the world. I love world travel. My favorite place to be in the world other than NYC & The Caribbean is the east end of Long Island.
